TWISTED SEAM

(WS) With the wrong sides of your work facing you, fold each end piece equally in half lengthwise so that the right sides are touching each other. Viewing the edges from the top, slide them together in an interlocking “C” fashion. Thread your 20 inch tail with a tapestry needle and sew the edges together.

All the knit stitches shown in the chart will be formed with a latch tool after you knit 4 rows at a time (starting on row 2), then k1 row across for the final row (Row 138), bind off and continue to the twisted seam instructions.
